1:64 scale is 1in to 5.3ft or 28mm to 1.8m
1:72 scale is 1in to 6.0ft or 25mm to 1.8m
1:90 scale is 1in to 7.5ft or 20mm to 1.8m

So, 20mm pedestrians would be undersized compared to the cars. 25mm pedestrians are also undersized, but not as much. 28mm pedestrians would be the ones that most closely match the scale of the cars. 28mm scale is also S scale in model railroading.

Personally, I would tend to keep the focus on the cars and go with 20mm scale, but then I've never been all that focused on ultra-realism. I'm considering HO scale which is 21mm or 1:87 scale, which have the advantage from my perspective of being not only widely available, but available pre-painted, so I don't have to mess with them at this point.
